Inside Lacrosse February Issue: Pannell/Stanwick Cover Videos

On December 2 and 3 at the Marriott Waterfront in Baltimore, I interviewed 20 DI head coaches and asked them one of the most redundant questions that I could've asked heading into this season — "What are your thoughts on Virginia's Steele Stanwick and Cornell's Rob Pannell?" I pointed out how unique this season would be based on having the Enners Award winner and Tewaaraton Award winner returning as seniors and playing the same position for national championship hopefuls, and asked if they could remember a similar comparison in recent lacrosse history. You can see from their answers below that at least we were on the right track.

Then, on December 19, with the first semester of their senior year just in the rearview mirror, Stanwick and Pannell agreed to meet with Quint Kessenich and a bunch of other Inside Lacrosse staff members to shoot video, take photos and record interviews to bring you the cover feature of the February issue of Inside Lacrosse Magazine.

John Jiloty talked more about how and why that idea came to pass in his letter from that issue; this is the rest of that awesome content. We'll be rolling out more videos this week and in the coming weeks, as well, updating this post with different conversations taking apart each individual's game on the field and in the film room, interviews catching up with each guy and more.
